How might you drag a good writer’s work down to the lower level? Try the spell-check button. A study at the University of Pittsburgh indicates spell-check software may level the playing field between people with differing levels of language skills, hampering the work of writers and editors who place too much trust in the software.
In the study, 33 undergraduate students were asked to proofread a one-page business letter - half of them using Microsoft Word with its red and green lines underlining potential errors. The other half did it in the old-fashioned way, using only their heads. Without grammar or spelling software, students with higher SAT verbal scores made, on average, five errors, compared with 12.3 errors for students with lower scores. Using the software, students with higher verbal scores reading the same passage made, on average, 16 errors, compared with 17 errors for students with lower scores.
Dennis Galletta, a professor of information systems at the Katz Business School, said spell-check software is so sophisticated that some have come to trust it too thoroughly. "It’s not a software problem, it’s a behavior problem," he said. Microsoft technical specialist Tim Pash said grammar and spelling technology is meant to help writers and editors, not solve all their problems. The study found the software helped students find and correct errors in the letter, but in some cases they also changed phrases and sentences flagged by the software as grammatically suspicious, even though they were correct.
26.What are the students asked to do in the study?
27.Who made the most mistakes in the study?
28.What is the speaker’s opinion of grammar and spelling software?
选项
A、The technical specialist should improve the software.
B、The software can not solve the students’ problems at all.
C、The software is designed for editors and writers, not the students.
D、Students should have their own judgment when using the software.
答案
D
解析
选项中的can not和重复出现的should+原形动词表明,本题可能考查观点或建议。短文末尾提到,语法拼写软件能帮助学生发现并改正信中的错误,但有时也会把本来正确的短语和句子标错。也就是说,学生们在使用语法拼写软件时不要过于依赖其功能,要保留自己的判断,故答案为[D]。
